What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

None. This is a concept book focused on body part identification and movement.

Ideal Reader

A kinesthetic toddler, aged 18 months to 3 years, who is beginning to identify body parts and loves to move. It is also ideal for a younger baby, 6-18 months, who can enjoy the rhythmic singing from a parent and the bright, high-contrast illustrations during lap time.

Parent Prep

No preparation is necessary. The book can be read cold. The only prerequisite is a willingness to be a little silly, sing the song, and perform the actions with the child to model the activity. Familiarity with the tune is helpful but not required. A parent notices their toddler pointing to their own nose or tummy and wants to encourage this budding body awareness. Another trigger is simply the need for a quick, engaging, screen-free activity to channel a young child's wiggles and energy constructively.
